IND vs NZ: T20 World Cup Head-To-Head Record

India and New Zealand, both, are strong teams with some serious talents in their ranks. This promises for an action-packed finale to a tournament that has been deeply entertaining.

The two sides met in a five-match bilateral series ahead of the T20 World Cup, which the Men in Blue won 4-1, but their record against the Black Caps in the tournament is worrying.

India and New Zealand, so far, have met on three occassions at the ICC T20 World Cup, and all three of those matches were won by the latter. 

Whether the Kiwis add to this stellar record tonight, or the Indians finally manage to break the deadlock reamins to be seen.
